SOUTH KINGSTOWNâAside from the obvious proximity between South Kingstown and Prout, Wednesdayâs Division I-South girls volleyball game was a critical contest given the path each squad had worn through the first third of the season.
The Rebels (1-2 D-I South) and Crusaders (2-2 D-I South) each entered the game having beaten Chariho but lost to both North Kingstown and Coventry, meaning third place â and potentially playoff seeding down the line â was up for grabs.

Waves have been hard to come by for the past two months.
Contest organizers kept their fingers crossed, in hopes of having surf for the 2nd Annual âCatch A Curlâ ESA contest, held this past Saturday. ESA kids had a great time in some fun surf, with the event held at the Westerly Town Beach.
âWe were very fortunate to get sunny skies, warm air temperatures, and nice surf for the second straight year,â contest director Mistral Dobson said. âThe level of surfing was up several notches this year for sure.â

NARRAGANSETTâThe deck was certainly stacked against the Narragansett girls soccer team as it entered Tuesday afternoonâs contest with a veteran Lincoln squad.
Not only were the wounds of an 8-2 loss to Burrillville fresh but the Mariners also had a littany of injuries to deal with â including one to starting goalkeeper junior Ceili OâConnnell.
For 40 minutes Narragansett more than held its own as replacement keeper freshman Finnian Duncan and the Mariner defense â particularly Sarah Lubic and Grace Castro â kept the Lions off the board in the first half.

WAKEFIELDâThe Prout girlsâ soccer team fell to 0-4-0 on the season after a 3-1 loss to Exeter West-Greenwich Tuesday afternoon.
Although EWG jumped out to leads of 1-0 and 3-1, Prout will look back at many missed quality chances to cut the lead and eventually equalize the match as one of the main reasons for the defeat.
âWe canât have certain people showing up at certain timesâeveryone needs to be showing up,â Prout coach Ria Carroll said, âweâre a good team, we just need to mesh togetherâwe need to put it all together.â

Adrienne Bender is one of the top goal scorers in Division III but she does more than just score points for the Colby-Sawyer womenâs soccer team.
Bender, from Wakefield (South Kingstown High), has three goals and an assist, including a game-winner, thus far for the 5-1 Chargers. She scored 28 goals the past two seasons and stands fourth on the schoolâs career list with 87 points. She was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after scoring two goals in a 5-1 victory over Norwich and picking up an assist in a 3-0 triumph over Mount Holyoke.

NORTH KINGSTOWN â As tends to happen in season openers, a tone was set for the North Kingstown boy soccer team two weeks ago when they opened the year against LaSalle.
The Skippers lost that day, 3-2, yielding three unanswered goals to the Rams before clawing back into the game late. The loss sparked a defense that has not yielded a goal since, reeling off three straight wins following their 2-0 decision over Tolman Monday night.
